Rissa couldn’t charm all the titans, but it certainly made the battle much easier. Around 50 of them chased her, unable to control their feelings and emotions and when she led them far enough from battle, she began ripping them to shreds. Despite her reign of terror, they still loved her, unconditionally, and started fighting each other.

"This is absolutely wild." Sasha said, dumbfounded.

"That’s my girl!" Julius bragged, as he began trying to use his demon art in the titans. Unfortunately, he wasn’t quite strong enough.

"I’m not going to be of much help here! Their armor is too thick, and my demon art doesn’t work. I’ll do my best. Rissa, please stay safe!"

Sasha’s vampiric art buffed Levi. She would grab him in her enlarged hand and throw her arm, elongate it, and let Levi slash away at the titan with flames around his sword. When the titan went to attack Levi, she’d pull him back.

"We make such a great team!" Levi boasted.

Lucious was busy tying down an armored titan with shadows and when they collapsed, Sera used her supersonic speed to slash away at their necks until their heads fell off. Lucious made sure they couldn’t move.

The elves were having an easy time as well. Their Fang magic allowed them to easily find the weak points of the titans, and they used a magical bow and arrows, embedded with elven magic, to shoot those exact spots. Once the titans were weak, they’d teleport close and deal the final blow.

Leila effortlessly flew through the sky and rather than using fire, she used the ability from her SSS set to freeze the titan feet and rip their head off with her dragon’s teeth. It was brutal, but the titans collapsed quite easily.

Pride sat in the back shaking his head while muttering "I wish they’d let me fight. This is just fucking embarrassing."

Sora teleported back and froze time for everyone but his party. He isolated the titans not unconditionally in love with Rissa and unleashed a barrage of attacks using a combination of Aphrodite and Lockheart skills. His good news brought extra motivation, and he noticed the werewolf siblings tearing down another titan.

’This is what I was worried about. I knew this was going to be an easy battle.’

Eventually, the battlefield was mostly clear of the armored titans. Jubelle was using blood pellets to shoot through the armor of a titan when Rissa came through and ripped its head off.

"Nice one Rissa!"

Rissa was proud of herself. She didn’t view linking with Sora as cheating. She viewed it as a blessing. The remaining titans were under her spell, fighting amongst each other.

Sora unfroze time and noticed Pride in the back and teleported to him.

"We have unsettled business, asshole. You almost killed my wife."

"Orders are orders, I presented you with a choice. Here is not the time nor place for us to fight."

"FUCK" Sora yelled as Pride teleported away.

*****

The stench from the rotting titans overwhelmed the party. Leila did everyone the courtesy of burning as many as she could. Levi joined the elves by using magic to get rid of the bodies more efficiently.

"That battle was a joke. What was the point of sending those 300 titans?" Lucious asked. "I’m glad Levi’s sword warned us so we could protect Sorbella!"

"Yes, everyone did a great job today. Lucious, I’m afraid their goal is to make me more powerful. Remember, I gain all the experience my party gains. I think their goal is to make me push my limit as possibly to get me to flip. It’s that or to kill me and steal my lifeforce or something." Sora admitted.

"How is Brie doing?" Sasha interjected, concerned for her best friend.

"Great, but that’s a conversation for our mansion, let’s head back there now."

*****

"Well Pride, how bad was it?" Azazel asked.

"Pretty pathetic. I thought you had the strongest army in the world, Eris?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"What do you always say Pride: Just following orders?"

"I told her only to send 300 armored titans. I’m sure that gave Sora and Brie a nice power surge."

"Actually I don’t know where Brie was my lord."

"What do you mean you don’t know where Brie was?"

"She was there at the start, but her and Sora teleported away for a while. Sora returned and demanded a rematch, but I immediately returned."

"Was Celeste there?"

"Nope. Nor Bishop. Just their party, which now has two elves. It was actually the young succubus that caused the biggest problem. She burst out into a 70-foot sexy woman, and the titans went goo-goo eyed over her. It’s like she had them in a trance. They started fighting each other over her."

"Wait, what? My titans would never fight each other unless they were under some manipulation. How strong is that party?"

"Stronger than we anticipated. They handled all of the titans with ease."

"Did you notice anything strange with Brie?"

"No, not really. She puked and then they were gone."

"She puked?! We can die but we don’t get sick. Do you think it’s possible she’s pregnant?" Helen interjected excitedly.

"The prophecy shows a child. Maybe that’s why she left?" Azazel snickered with excitement.

"That would benefit us greatly. We could steal the child, kill it and take its dormant godly power and abilities." Eris said with a grin.

*****

Back at the mansion, Celeste was waiting in the living room and told everyone Brie was sleeping peacefully and healthy.

"What was going on with her? One minute she was fine, the next she was throwing up and sick. I thought gods couldn’t get sick?" Levi asked.

"We have great news! Brie and I are going to be parents in three months!"

The party celebrated and showered Sora with love and affection.

"Remember how upset you were with Celeste, Sasha and me for taking Brie to site for the trial of the gods?" Leila teased. "Well, you’re welcome!"

Everyone laughed and Sora noticed Bishop wasn’t his normal happy-go-lucky self.

"Yo Bishop, everything ok bud? What’s going on with you, you seem a little down."

"Oh, apologies! I’m not trying to rain on your par–"

Sora politely cut him off, "No need to be sorry! Also, you’re not raining on anyone’s parade and it’s not just today. You haven’t been yourself lately, what’s up?"

"I never thought I’d get bored without fighting. I often trained every day, even after Rook went missing but eventually, I just settled in and trained others for a while. After that, I fully retired in MeadowSong but ever since the fight with General Getz, I feel like I’m not helping the team!"

"You’re protecting me and every dungeon run we go on you clear it so fast!" Celeste said as she ran over and gave him a big hug.

"Seriously Bishop you spar whenever anyone asks you, no matter how tired you are, you’re always there to lend a hand with anything, keep your head up brother!" Lucious said kindly.

"He’s right. If you ever feel bored, just let me know and you can go out with the others and Brie and I will stay back," Sora said while giving Bishop a reassuring fist bump.

"So, you don’t think I’m letting everyone down?" Bishop said, finally cracking a smile.

"The only way you’d ever let us down is if you weren’t happy, so please, if you ever feel this way, talk to us! If you’re ever homesick, go to MeadowSong!" Luna said cheerfully.

"You all are so kind. I will speak up more often."

The Savior party continued to celebrate their victory and Brie’s pregnancy, all while Brie slept peacefully. Sora said goodnight to the party and took his leave. He used the dojo’s shower to not wake Brie.

’I’m so glad I took Chronos up on this offer. Everyone is so happy, I’m about to be a father. It’s like all of my dreams are coming true every day I live on this planet,’ he thought as he slid into bed quietly.
